Introduction

The last decade of the 20th century, sometimes called the time of the Information Revolution, has a decisive influence on how we live and work today. Development of such domains as computer science and telecommunication is the source of formation of economy based on knowledge. Knowledge begins to play the role of a strategic factor, often more important than land, financial capital or natural resources considered the “motors” of the Industrial Age.
